WATCH: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Player Gets First Knife-Only Nuke

Modern Warfare 3 players are already getting wild nukes.

A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 player got the first ever nuke with just a knife. The Call of Duty series is constantly encouraging players to boast and brag. It's a series that showcases numbers and other things to make players feel empowered. It's always about ensuring everyone is getting a steady stream of dopamine hits. This largely began in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) which introduced more than a handful of killstreaks and rewarded players for getting dozens of kills. If you got 25 kills, you got the sacred nuke which would end the game and automatically reward the team who got it a win, even if they were losing before. The nuke has only gotten hard to attain in recent years as it is now 30 kills and only kills with guns/melee/grenades count towards it, if you use a chopper gunner, it won't count toward the nuke.

While that's already quite impressive, players try to one-up each other by making it as difficult as possible to get a nuke. A week after the game had launched, one Modern Warfare 3 player managed to get a nuke only using blades. The player can be seen using throwing stars, a riot shield, and a knife and managed to rack up 30 kills. In the compiled footage, UnseeableNinja7 has a few close calls, but manages to achieve a nuke using only these tools. It's incredibly impressive and as you might imagine, results in an explosive reaction from everyone supporting him. It's the first recorded nuke using only blades and given the high degree of difficulty, will likely be one of the few to ever do it in Modern Warfare 3.
